Decision

[Battle for the Golden Throne...] Those are the last words Lucien thinks with Aylin before he realizes that he is in his body again while looking at Helena's pleading expression.

Behind Helena, he can see more than four thousand angels trying to enter the barrier again. There is the portal that Agapius and many other Earth Realm angels are opening. Well, they are not creating a new portal but energizing the one that brought them to Argerim.

Lucien looks at the golden naginata in his hands and realizes that he doesn't want to kill those angels, except for Agapius, of course. After reliving those memories of Aylin, he understood more about her intense desire to fight.

He understands her because he also thinks that fighting his enemies is simple and efficient. He also hates complicated things, especially now that he knows that he and his family are involved in complex manipulations. The worst part is not knowing who his enemies and allies really are.
